Daily Workout - Legs at Fitness World

I skipped a day yesterday - while kind of. I shot another YouTube Video that I will be posting in a bit... While making the video I did a pretty good workout showing off the Total Gym and a variety of exercises that I do on the Total Gym.

Today I had to do a few errands in town so I hit my local Fitness World. I do have the equipment I need to do legs at home but Fitness World has a way more!

  • Elliptical Warmup - 12 Minutes.
  • Squats with Squat Machine.
  • Inverted Squats with Squat Machine.
  • Calf Raises with Seated Calf Machine.
  • Leg Extensions with Universal Leg Extension Machine.
  • Leg Curls with Universal Leg Curl Machine.
  • Misc. lower body stretching.
  • Abs: Twists, Crunches and Leg Raises

Total workout time: About 1.25 hours.

Daily Workout - Elliptical

Today I skipped my Leg workout and just used my Elliptical, I did two sessions of Elliptical for a total of 20 minute or 400 calories burned. I really don't have any problem building leg muscle and even just doing the Elliptical as my regular warmup exercises is probably enough for me to keep my legs toned... Next week I'll start back up with legs, it's been a good idea to lay off for a while and let my back get back to normal.

Daily Workout - Legs in home Gym

I did legs today but made sure to keep things light! The last thing I want to do is hurt my back again :(

It went pretty good, just made sure not to overdue it. It was a hot one today so I have to take my time in-between sets to make sure I didn't get to hot.

  • Elliptical Warmup - 10 Minutes.
  • Squats with Smith machine (Light).
  • Calf Raises: with Smith machine (Light).
  • Leg Extensions: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Leg Curls: Bench with leg attachment.
  • Misc. lower body stretching.

Total workout time: About 1 hour done in my home gym.

Daily Workout - Back Pain!

Today I went to my Saturday morning MMA Class for 2 hours and then came home and did some stuff around the house. I thought I'd also do a quick leg workout as I still had some energy.

Maybe I should have skipped it today cause when I was on my last heavy set of squats I tweaked my back a bit. I've always had a bad lower back even in my 20's I suffered with pain but it actually has been better until today.

I did finish my workout but took it a bit easier. I am going to look for a good weight belt as a back injury is something nobody wants and once this gets better I'm going to make sure I keep the back pain away!

I hate injuries, so hopefully this sorts its self out over the next few days.
